I first met Elaine in high school. She was outgoing, had a great sense of humor, and was someone I was proud to call a friend. She was very close to my sisters Cathy and Mary, which led to her meeting our whole family. She attended many of our family get-togethers, and we loved having her there. She never complained about her struggles and set a great example of how to live with dignity and class.

Elaine brought light, love, and laughter into our lives. Despite her struggles with MS, she was the bravest, most positive, and generous person I have ever known. We were best friends all through high school and gave our teachers a run for their money. Nobody could make me laugh louder than Elaine! I am so sad that this wonderful girl is not here with us, but she will never leave our hearts. Anyone who was fortunate to meet Elaine is richer because of it. It’s so sad I couldn’t share one last precious moment with her, to let her know how much I loved her. ❤️❤️❤️
